Wen Xiao'ai felt a chill when she reflected on how she was inexplicably harmed by humans upon her arrival in the Human Realm, having bled so much and nearly losing her life.
She withdrew the little paw she had stretched out. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel_fіre.net
She wanted to turn around and run away, to find a place without humans where she could hide for a while and figure out how to repair her inner core.
But the outside might be even more dangerous.
The human in front of her looked so pleasant, he probably wasn't a bad person, and he had tried to save her before...
But... his aura was heavy with malice.
There was an indescribable, oppressive darkness about him, even affecting the surrounding air, making it somewhat standoffish.
More terrifying than King Yan of the Netherworld even.
Wen Xiao'ai had always been small but brave, daring to tease generals in the Heaven realm and play tricks on little ghosts in the Netherworld.
Yet this human was the only one who made her feel fearful.
If she hadn't been sure that the person before her was indeed human, she might have mistaken him for a master from another realm undergoing tribulations in the Human Realm, especially with the mysterious energy that didn't seem human emanating from him.
Wen Xiao'ai hesitated for a moment.
Jun Moyan's brown eyes fixed intently on her. Seeing her immobility, his heart involuntarily began to tense.
Especially when he observed her retreating movements, Jun Moyan almost couldn't resist rushing forward to hold her, to prevent her from running away.
Watching the fear in her deep blue eyes, Jun Moyan slightly pursed his lips.
Was it because he had killed too many, his hands stained with too much blood, that she dared not come close?
Thinking this, Jun Moyan actually slowly squatted down, extended a hand, and coaxed softly,
"Come here, don't be afraid."
If the outside world knew that the leader of the notorious Army[Crab]Fire Group, who could intimidate the forces of both black and white, was making such a dignified gesture towards a mere cat, and was doing so with great patience and delicacy, it would probably shock the entire Capital City.
Wen Xiao'ai softly meowed, as if asking if he would hurt her.
And Jun Moyan seemed to understand why she meowed.
After saying that, Jun Moyan himself felt somewhat amused.
How could she possibly understand what he was saying?
However, a moment later, the little cat at the doorway stretched out a paw and took the first step, slowly walking toward him.
The fear in her eyes was still visibly real, but she was indeed walking toward him.
Jun Moyan had never been fond of these shedding, clingy creatures, but this tiny kitten that seemed to have been born only a few months ago had captured his heart.
Maybe it was because she had taken that bullet for him;
Maybe it was because of her eyes, which looked like starry seas;
Maybe it was because of the pressing sense he felt when carrying her to the hospital, that first nervousness for something;
Perhaps it was the indescribable sadness and... discomfort he felt upon hearing the drunkard's words that there was no saving her.
Gathering her 'cat courage,' Wen Xiao'ai stepped toward Jun Moyan.
She needed to harness the mysterious energy from this human to repair her inner core; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to regain her human form, use her mana, or even return to the Cat Clan...
Clan Leader Grandma and Brother Ye Qi wouldn't be able to find her anytime soon, so she had to figure something out herself.
Besides, if this human was truly going to harm her, she couldn't run away now even if she wanted to.
Jun Moyan watched the little kitten approach him, his lips curving up unconsciously again, pleased with this.
He kept his hand extended, just waiting for her.
